Kentucky State University (KSU) is committed to fostering a supportive environment for employees while maintaining a professional workplace free from disruptions. The workplace is not a suitable substitute for childcare due to potential safety risks to children and potential liabilities for KSU. Employees are encouraged not to bring minor children to work areas during regular working hours. If childcare needs arise and alternative arrangements are unavailable, employees should utilize accrued sick leave, vacation leave, or unpaid leave, as permitted by KSU policies.
This regulation does not apply to KSU-sponsored programs or events designed for children or families.
An individual under the age of 18 who is not enrolled as a KSU student or employed by KSU.
